Beware of the Scribes

^45 (G)And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, ⁴⁶ “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and ^(H)the places of honor at feasts, ^47 (I)who devour widows' houses and ^(J)for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”
